Dutching Explained

A Guide to Dutching at Indian Betting Sites

Various strategies can be used at Indian betting sites, but dutching is among the best of them.

Dutching can be a great way to carve out long-term profit but it is not usually seen as a way to make quick money from sports betting.

But for those who have not heard the term before, we have put together this ultimate guide. Read on for everything you need to know about dutching at Indian betting sites.

What is Dutching?

Dutching means placing bets on multiple options in a market to get more chances of winning.

The wagers have to be calculated in a certain way in order to maximise profits, but dutching can be a very handy tactic when the likely winner is one of just a couple of options.

It is claimed that the term dutching was created by Al Capone's accountant 'Dutchy' Schultz - Arthur Flegenheimer - but despite its murky origins the strategy is 100% legitimate.

While this betting strategy is primarily used for soccer and horse racing, dutching can be used in various sports. So what do you need to do to start dutching at Indian betting sites?

How to Do It

Dutching means making careful decisions at betting sites. After all, if you try to bet on every single outcome in a sports event, there is no way you will be able to make a profit.

Let's say you are planning to use dutching on horse racing. You might well be able to rule a few horses out from being potential winners, leaving just two or three horses that are worth backing.

There are a few ways to use dutching but the simplest of them is to work out the implied probability of the odds for each selection.

In the event that they add up to more than 100%, this would mean dutching is not a viable tactic. If it is under 100%, dutching can work well and it can be worth proceeding.

An online odds converter tool can be very useful for when you are trying to work out whether dutching is an option for a particular race.

Some sports fans might opt to place a bet on under 2.5 goals being scored in this game. But dutching would cover four different possible correct scoreline bets at better value odds, meaning profit as long as the game did not end in a 2-0 victory for either side.

Dutching can produce low profits from low-risk bets, which is attractive to those taking a long-term view from their betting strategy. One such low-risk method for dutching in soccer betting in India could be to use dutching on the correct scores and over 1.5 goals markets.

Players can bet on the favoured team in a relatively tight game to win 1-0, as well as a 0-0 draw, plus over 1.5 goals. This means a profit is going to be made from the bets as long as the favoured team does not lose 1-0.
